"Firstly, we would like to congratulate you on your choice wisely not to listen to taped music. Harmonic and rhythmic sound is known to have a hypnotic effect. This can be particularly risky especially to the long-distance-driver. We assure you that this spoken text will be so lively that even the shortest catnap will not be possible."
